Requires state contracts for personal protective equipment and medical supplies to prioritize New York-made products.

This bill amends the state finance law and the public authorities law to mandate that state contracts for personal protective equipment and medical supplies prioritize products made in New York. Exceptions are allowed if New York-made products are unavailable, of unsatisfactory quality, or would unreasonably increase costs. The bill also requires that at least 30% of these items come from preferred sources, as defined by the state finance law. This act applies to contracts advertised after its effective date, excluding those already solicited.
